The Department of Behavioral Health (DBH) Office of the Chief Financial Officer (OCFO) concurs with this finding. FFATA Reporting Compliance: In February 2026, the DBH Grants Management Office created an FFATA procedure to ensure compliance with timely FFATA reporting. As a result of this finding, the procedure has been updated to report bi-weekly rather than monthly to ensure reporting under 30 days. The GMO Director will also provide continuous training to staff outside of the GMO to ensure staffing will not become a barrier, as experienced in early 2026. As of June 1, 2026, all FFATA entries as of the May 25th purchase order (R071) report have been reported. Additionally, as we plan for the forthcoming electronic grants management system (eGMS) we’re in discussion to add a report feature that will provide needed info for FFATA entry i.e., UEI, FAIN, award amount and purchase order # to automate the process. SEFA Reporting Compliance: Prior to the submission of the SEFA, the grant expenditures will be reviewed with the Accounting Officer, The AFO, and the Grants Program Manager for a detailed review of the SEFA to confirm expenditures are correctly categorized by fund and grants, reconciles to the DIFS R019 report and reflects the amount expended for sub-recipients. Effective FY26, subrecipient totals are uniquely identified with an account number that will reflect in the R019 report as a subset of total expenditures. This report will be used to complete the SEFA going forward.

The Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE) concurs with the auditor’s finding and recommendations related to this finding. This oversight occurred during the transition to the new corrective action plan instituted during the prior fiscal year. OSSE is confident in its new review process of FFATA that will prevent the underlying reporting issue from recurring. OCFO concurs with the auditor’s finding. The original classification reflected OCFO’s judgment during report compilation rather than lack of control. Based on the initial analysis, the OCFO had not bifurcated the amount of the subrecipients’, School Food Authorities (SFAs) and Food Service Program Sponsors (SFSPs), expenditures in the SEFA under the Passed Through to Subrecipients column. CNC program operated as a reimbursement mechanism where School Food Authorities (SFAs) and Summer Food Services Program (SFSP) Sponsors received payments as Subrecipients. Subsequently reviewed, OCFO bifurcated the related expenditure in the SEFA, which resulted in updating the SEFA accordingly. OCFO remains committed to complying with its policies and procedures and will implement an additional layer of review to ensure the accuracy of the SEFA.

Finding #2025-002 – Reporting – Significant Deficiency and Other Noncompliance. Applicable federal program: Department of Treasury, Passed through Harris County, Texas, Assistance Listing #: 21.027 – COVID-19 – Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds, Contract Number: SLFRFP1966, Contract Year: 10/31/24 – 12/31/26. Condition and context: MAM incurred qualifying construction expenditures that were properly recorded as CIP. However, MAM did not record government grant revenue or a related grants receivable for the qualifying expenditures incurred during the fiscal year and did not identify or include the qualifying expenditures incurred during the fiscal year on the SEFA. Recommendation: Develop policies and procedures to identify and reflect all federal programs on the SEFA, reconcile the federal expenditures to the federal program revenue on a routine basis, and formalize the independent review process for the SEFA and grant billings. Planned corrective action: See finding #2025-001. Responsible officer: See finding #2025-001. Estimated completion date: See finding #2025-001.

Finding 2025-001 – Accuracy of Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) The ALN numbers identified as incorrect were on 16.588 & 16.575 under the Violence Against Women Formula Grant.

Finding 2025-001 – Accuracy of Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) The ALN numbers identified as incorrect were on 16.588 & 16.575 under the Violence Against Women Formula Grant. These two numbers were inadvertently transposed during preparation of the SEFA. Out of the 20 ALN numbers reported, only these two were inaccurate. All expenditures reported on the SEFA were based on actual expenditures incurred consistent with prior guidance provided by the auditor. During the previous audit cycle, VALOR’s accountant sought clarification regarding whether expenditures should be reported based on actual expenditures or reimbursement amounts and was instructed to use actual expenditures incurred. In accordance with 2 CFR 200.510(b), auditees must prepare a SEFA that accurately identifies programs by the correct ALN and reports expenditures based on actual amounts expended from federal awards. Except for the inadvertent transposition of the two ALN numbers noted above, the SEFA was prepared in compliance with these requirements. As a corrective action, beginning with the next SEFA report for the 2025-2026 fiscal year, the SEFA will be prepared by the Senior Accountant, Karen Sayers, and reviewed by both the Director of Operations, Rosemary Gonzales, and the organization’s CPA, Kim Jones, prior to submission to verify the accuracy of all ALN numbers and reported amounts.

Finding 2025-002 – Incomplete Subrecipient Agreements and Inaccurate Subrecipient SEFA Reporting Subrecipient agreements were executed based on California’s State Administrator of federal funds (CalOES) requirements applicable to second-tier subawards. Based on guidance provided during Federal Grants Advanced Training and the 2025 CalOES Subrecipient Handbook (page 65), entities receiving pass-through funding from the state are required to follow CalOES second-tier subaward requirements. Accordingly, VALOR’s agreements include the elements required for second-tier subawards. Elements of a Second-Tier Subaward (From the 2025 CalOES Subrecipient Handbook) The following elements must be included in a Second-Tier Subaward: • Name of the Subrecipient Organization and the participating agency/organization, • The titles and contact information for the individuals that will serve as the primary contacts,• The timeframe of the agreement (this must cover the Grant Subaward performance period), • The roles and responsibilities (as they relate to the specific Grant Subaward) of the Subrecipient Organization and the participating agency/organization, • Specific information concerning all non-fiscal resources shared between the Subrecipient Organization and the participating agency/organization, • Reporting requirements necessary for the Subrecipient Organization to meet Cal OES reporting requirements, • Signatures of the chief executive or designee of the Subrecipient Organization and the participating agency/organization, including the dates of those signatures, and • Specific information concerning the transfer of any Grant Subaward funds from the Subrecipient Organization to the participating agency/organization. At a minimum, this information must include the total amount of Grant Subaward funds that will be transferred, the process for transferring the Grant Subaward funds (e.g., monthly invoices, payment based on deliverables), what the Grant Subaward funds will be used for, and any match contribution provided by the participating agency/organization. Any funds included in the Second-Tier Subaward must be clearly designated (not itemized) in the Grant Subaward Budget Pages (Cal OES Form 2-106a or b). Additionally, second tier subrecipients are prohibited from charging indirect costs; therefore, indirect cost provisions were not included in the agreements. Based on the above, management believes the subrecipient agreements substantially complied with applicable CalOES requirements. Any omissions identified were administrative in nature and did not impact program performance, allowability of costs, or oversight of subrecipient activities. To strengthen internal controls and ensure full compliance with all applicable grant requirements, beginning January 1, 2027, VALOR’s Director of Operations, Rosemary Gonzales, will include all required elements identified in the finding in future subrecipient agreements. In addition, VALOR will review subrecipient Single Audit reports to verify that applicable grant funding is properly reported on the SEFA. VALOR will also notify subrecipients of the requirement to include these amounts in their future SEFA reporting. Contracts for the current year, 2026, have already been signed.

Classification Material Weakness Responsible Official Chief Financial Officer Anticipated Completion Date December 31, 2026 Management Response Management concurs with the finding. OIC will formalize federal award tracking and SEFA preparation procedures to ensure federal expenditures are complete, accurate, and readily identifiable by program. Corrective Action Plan 1. Assign grant codes and Assistance Listing Number identifiers within the accounting system to track federal expenditures by award, funding source, and program. 2. Prepare quarterly SEFA reconciliations to the general ledger, grant records, reimbursement requests, and supporting documentation. 3. Incorporate a SEFA preparation checklist into year-end closing procedures and submit the draft SEFA to the Audit Committee before audit fieldwork. Management will monitor corrective action progress and provide periodic updates to executive leadership, the Finance Committee, Audit Committee, and Board of Directors until all findings are remediated. Management believes these actions will strengthen internal controls, improve audit readiness, and reduce the risk of future findings.

A designated Finance staff member with knowledge of the Uniform Guidance requirements will be responsible for overseeing SEFA preparation for each fiscal year-end. A grant-by-grant SEFA reconciliation will be completed prior to yearend close, with particular attention to period-end cutoff. The SEFA will be independently reviewed by the Finance Director and compared to grant expenditure reports before the audit commences. Management will engage its external accountants earlier in the year-end close process.

During the preparation of the prior year Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (“Federal Schedule”), this award was omitted from the Federal Schedule since it was not identified as a federal grant within the grant listings.

The findings are numbered consistently with the numbers assigned in the schedule. FINDINGS FEDERAL AWARD PROGRAMS AUDIT DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE 2025-001 16.575 Crime Victims Assistance Recommendation: Management should review all grant agreements for CFDA numbers and pass-through identification information. Management should reconcile the SEFA to the general ledger periodically throughout the year. Action Taken: Management has updated the SEFA process to incorporate safeguards.

Federal Program: 93.045/93.053, Department of Health and Human Services, Aging Cluster Condition per Auditor: The County did not maintain effective internal control over the reconciliation of expenditures reported on the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) to amounts billed to the funding agency. Planned Corrective Action: The County has established procedures for reconciling general ledger activity to supporting documentation and Federal Financial Reports (FFRs/FSRs) throughout the fiscal year, including additional reconciliation procedures performed at year end to capture late or adjusting entries. The condition was further impacted by timing differences between departmental reporting and subsequent adjusting entries, as well as the aggregation of adjustments across multiple programs without sufficient program level detail at the time of review. While follow up was initiated to obtain supporting breakdowns, the process did not require resolution of these items prior to final classification and inclusion in year end reporting.The County is strengthening internal controls over grant related financial activity and SEFA preparation by enhancing and enforcing requirements for accurate transaction recording, supporting documentation, and independent validation.Key improvements include:• Enhanced documentation and classification requirements for grant related entries • Strengthened review and validation controls to ensure proper support and classification • Improved reconciliation and adjustment protocols, including post reporting revalidation • Control enforcement and escalation for unsupported or unresolved items • Training and guidance on federal compliance requirements Anticipated Completion Date: 9/30/2026 Responsible Contact Person: Shauntika Bullard

SEFA Reporting Significant Deficiency - Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Parts A and B Management’s Views and Opinion Sunset Park Health Council, Inc. acknowledges the finding and agrees that the Ending the HIV Epidemic: A Plan for America — Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program Parts A and B grant should have been identified and reported as a federal award on the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (“SEFA”) beginning with the applicable award period. Management notes that the omission resulted from the Assistance Listing Number (“ALN”) not being identified at the time of the initial grant setup, which impacted the subsequent classification of the award for SEFA reporting purposes. Once identified during the FY2025 audit process, management corrected the matter by including the cumulative federal expenditures under the award on the FY2025 SEFA. Management also notes that there were no questioned costs and that the omission did not impact the prior-year major program determinations. Sunset Park is committed to strengthening its grant setup, award identification, and SEFA review controls to ensure that all federal awards, including federal pass-through awards, are accurately identified, classified, and reported in accordance with Uniform Guidance. The corrective actions described below are intended to improve the completeness and accuracy of federal award reporting and to prevent similar omissions in future reporting periods. Corrective Action Plan: To mitigate this risk, the following controls and procedures will be implemented: 1. Quarterly Grant Review All active and new grants will be reviewed on a quarterly basis by the Director of Grants and Grant Accountants to ensure completeness and accuracy of key award data, including CFDA/ALN identification. Any discrepancies will be identified and corrected timely. 2. AAW (Award Authorization Workflow) Control All Award Authorization Work (AAW) forms submitted to NYU Research Data Management (RDM) will require review and initial approval by the Director of Grants prior to submission, confirming that all required fields, including CFDA/ALN, are complete. 3. RDM Submission Verification Each submission to RDM will require confirmation and acknowledgment that all award data has been properly entered and recorded for both new and existing grants. 4. Chartstring Verification Control As part of the chartstring distribution process, Grant Accountants will confirm that all relevant grant attributes, including CFDA/ALN numbers, have been accurately established and communicated to program teams. 5. SEFA and Interim Review Procedures During interim reviews and annual SEFA preparation, each Grant Accountant will verify that all assigned grants are properly classified as federal or non-federal and that all applicable CFDA/ALN numbers are included and accurately reported. Responsible Parties: • Director of Grants • Grant Accountants • NYU Research Data Management (RDM) Implementation Timeline: Full implementation of corrective actions by August 31, 2026 Training: Grants Fiscal staff will undergo CFDA/ALN identification and SEFA reporting training by August 31, 2026. Training will be recorded and incorporated into onboarding for new staff. Conclusion: These corrective actions strengthen internal controls over grant setup and reporting, ensuring accurate identification of federal funding sources and completeness of SEFA reporting in compliance with Uniform Guidance.

Comment #2024-001 INTERNAL CONTROLS OVER FINANCIAL STATEMENT PREPARATION, GRANT CLOSE-OUT, AND COMPLIANCE WITH RELATED PROVISIONS OF GRANTS AND CONTRACTS SHOULD BE IMPROVED GENERAL (Repeat) Views of Responsible Officials and Planned Corrective Actions: We concur with this finding - Management is in the process of assessing the organizational structure, capacity to provide adequate financial reporting. With Board review and approval of the Agency’s financial funding sources, the Agency will hire additional fiscal clerk to further support financial requirements and segregation of duties to ensure adequate internal controls are fully implemented. The CFO will have the overall responsibility of properly reconciling and closing out the accounting system and grant activity each month in an efficient and timely manner to eliminate the risk of significant errors occurring. Budget-to-actual schedules will be an integral part of the grant accountant analyst’s basic responsibilities. The fiscal policies and procedures will be updated with the enhancements implemented within the fiscal department. Staff will be trained on revised policies and procedures and Uniform Guidance regulations. The new automated financial systems, will support financial reporting to meet GAAP requirements and to provide informative reports for Board and Management. All enhancements will be implemented by December 31, 2024. Concerning preparation of external reports required by various funding sources (i.e., SF-425, DHS’s reports for LIHEAP, LIHWAP, etc.), the Agency will ensure adequate training is performed to improve the skills and knowledge of key personnel. Policies and procedures will also be revised to support external reporting. Implementation Date: The plan correction date will be completed no later than December 31, 2025. Responsible Person: Tabirus Lockhart, CFO, will be responsible for the corrective action.

2025-001 – Completeness of certain programs on the prior years’ Schedules of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA) Cluster: Not applicable Sponsoring Agency: Tennessee Emergency Management Agency Award Name: Presidential Disaster Declaration for Severe Storms, Straight-line Winds, and Flooding May 3-4, 2020; Presidential Disaster Declaration for COVID-19 beginning January 2020 Award Number: FEMA-4550-DR-TN; FEMA-4514-DR-TN Assistance Listing Title: Disaster Grants – Public Assistance (Presidentially Declared Disasters) Assistance Listing Number: 97.036 Award Year: 2022, 2024 Pass-through entity: Not applicable A reconciliation process was implemented by the Electric Power Board of the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County (the “Board” or “NES”) in FY2025, the result of which was the discovery of the understatement referenced in the finding. FEMA expenses are now reconciled to, and obligation dates retrieved from, the Federal FEMA Grants Portal to ensure project expenses are accurately reported in the proper fiscal year. Further, NES leadership and staff have been trained on the new policies and procedures, with trainings occurring in October and November 2025. The Corporate Controller, Controls and Compliance Manager, and their respective teams will meet on a quarterly basis, beginning in December 2025, to discuss SEFA activities to ensure future SEFA reports are complete. For inquiries regarding this finding, please contact Tabitha Beach at tbeach@nespower.com who is responsible for the corrective action.

2025-001: Insufficient Controls Over Monitoring Federal Expenditures and SEFA Preparation (Significant Deficiency) The City concurs with the finding and will strengthen controls over monitoring federal expenditures and preparation of the Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards (SEFA). The Finance Department will implement centralized oversight of federal grant activity and maintain a grant tracking schedule to monitor cumulative federal expenditures by program, including reimbursements and receivables. Departments administering federal programs will be required to report grant expenditures to Finance, and periodic reconciliations will be performed between departmental records, reimbursement requests submitted to the pass-through agency, and amounts recorded in the general ledger.

Ignacio School District has already taken steps in changing the overall process of managing our Federal Award grants and overall year-end closing entries. The district will be working closely with our new auditors to ensure that Single Audits are completed annually moving forward. Our district has implemented scheduled monthly Requests For Funds and budget reviews for each grant to confirm that the grants are being spent according to their approved applications. The Superintendent and Finance Director meet to review the overall process to ensure grant compliance. This includes, but is not limited to assuring that the district charges a de minimis indirect cost rate and submitting End of Year reports to CDE. The district has assigned responsibility of Federal Grant oversight to new personnel. To assure a segregation of duties, there are three district office personnel involved in the management and oversight of the grants. The district has also been trained on proper closing entry procedures for all year-end closing entries and year-end Annual Financial Reporting of grants.
